Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound dried black beans, picked over
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 pound thick double-smoked bacon, cut into small dice
1 medium Spanish onion, cut into small dice
1 medium carrot, cut into small dice
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup dark rum
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons molasses
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, homemade (page 240) or store-bought, plus more if needed
1 1/2 cups Mesa Grill Barbecue Sauce (see Sources) or store-bought barbecue sauce
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cover the beans by at least 2 inches with cold water and let soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Drain the beans, place in a large saucepan, and cover by 2 inches with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot slightly, and cook until very tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain the beans and place in a large bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels. Add the onion and carrot to the pan and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the rum, bring to a boil, and cook until almost completely evaporated, 5 minutes. Add the mixture to the beans along with the honey, molasses, stock, barbecue sauce, bacon, and half of the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper and mix gently to combine.
  • Transfer the mixture to a 10-inch round baking dish, cover, and bake for 20 minutes. Check to see if the mixture is dry; if it is, add a little more stock. Continue baking for another 20 minutes. Remove the lid and bake until golden brown on top, another 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Garnish with the remaining cilantro before serving.
